A number of contributors have sent me useful items for the site. I
have not had time over the past couple of years to properly integrate
the data into the site.

Sometimes, things are more complicated than they seem. For example,
the Gothic index of names was contributed in Unicode. This is
definitely best practice today. However, I wrote the site's software
way back before Unicode support was generally available, and the
existing scripts don't support Unicode. So to integrate the data, I'd
have to either back-convert the nice modern Unicode data to the site's
old idiosyncratic encoding (which would be dumb), or else I'd need to
update the whole site to Unicode (which I'd love to do, but don't have
time for).

Something is better than nothing, so I'm posting the data here so that
it is at least available.

A great thanks to all of the contributors!

Wright's Gothic Grammar

Guillaume Lestringant writes the following:

Hello,
I've hand-corrected the proper names' lexicon of Wright's Grammar of
the Gothic Language: you can find the new HTML version as attachd
files. It's 100% Unicode.
Plus, the XML version of the glossary isn't available anymore.
Your's sincerly,

Clark Hall's An Anglo Saxon Dictionary

5 April 2009
David Stampe writes the following:

I made a shortened index for use on my own computer, attached
herewish, in which I added links to pages that have more than one
"letter" (since the "chapters" in Clark Hall don't begin a a new
page) with the missing word-range indicated. For example, the page
on which B words begin contains a number of A words. So I added the
range for those previously left-out words, here in boldface, where
previously there was only a link to the B page:

I am not up to revising the original .html file, with all its tables,
but if you wish to do it or have someone else do it, there is at the
end of each letter a new link. It is simply a matter of making a
new row at the end of each letter, pointing to the files for the
beginning of the next letter, but adding the top-of-the-page words
I've supplied, e.g.awregennes-ayttan above. (Ignore my abbreviated
href's, I've localized them and used only .png images.)

I also fixed the headword ???? for a page that had a missing upper
left corner. And one that for some reason had $ instead of eth at the
beginning of a word. Otherwise I did no proofreading.

Great project! But isn't it a shame that the Middle English
Dictionary and the Dictionary of Old English are still not online for
everyone to use?

Keith Edkins writes the following:

There is a problem with b0068 - half of it was missing from the original
scan, and after I recreated that it wouldn't let me upload it because it
was too different! If you have any other way of getting the corrected
page into the database I enclose it below.

Tristan Miller writes the following:

I would like to submit some corrections to the Cleasby/Vigfusson dictionary
in your Germanic Lexicon Project. However, your online system will not
let me check out or submit the relevant pages because they are marked as
having been completed by someone else.

Attached are the corrected pages in case you would like to integrate them
manually.

Loki Clock writes the following:

I wanted to submit corrections I made to a page completed by someone
else. Specifically, I replaced the UNCERTAINs on page 757 of
Cleasby-Vigfusson where there should be E-caudatas. Why can't one
reserve a page again after someone finishes making their corrections?
That means that no one can correct anything the first person missed!
Anyway, my correction is attached if there's a way the file can be
manually replaced.

This one is from Sean Crist. In preparation for a possible future
project, I want to know the bounding rectangle for each dictionary
entry on the original scanned page image. The idea is to allow the
electronic text can be displayed side-by-side with the original. The
first step to working this out was to re-OCR the text, saving it in an
XML format which includes the bounding rectangle of each word. The
files below are the resulting XML files.

Processing this information to find the bounding rectangles for each entry
is going to be an interesting computational problem. The re-OCR'ed text
hasn't been corrected and contains many errors, so it's really an optimization
problem to find the best fit between entries in the existing electronic
edition and the re-OCR'ed version.
